How do I care for my swimsuits? 




<>SWIMWEAR DO'S AND DON'TS



<>











Before going into the pool,  take a shower in your swimsuit and soak with clear water. This will help suit absorb less chlorine
Before First Use Only: Soak swimwear in a mixture of vinegar and water for approx. 30 minutes. (1 tablespoon per 1 quart of water). This will slow down fading and keep bright colors vibrant longer
Rinse your swimsuit in cool water immediately after swimming in chlorinated water or salt water.

Hand wash in cool water. It is always best to use a swimsuit cleaner . It neutralizes chemicals that eat away at the material and extends the life of your new bathing suit. Regular soap can not do this. If you don't have swimsuit cleaner, use a mild liquid soap (NO WOOLITE!). Rinse well.



To squeeze out excess water, Roll swimsuit in a clean, lint, free, light-colored, fade resistant towel and squeeze.






















SWIMWEAR DON'TS



Do not sit on the pool edge or boat without using a towel. Abrasiveness causes snagged bottoms.



Do not machine wash or dry. Do not bleach your swimsuit, iron it, wash it with whites or put in the dryer. Excessive dryer heat will destroy your swimsuit. Washing machines and detergents are too harsh and will lead to premature swimsuit breakdown.



Do not leave rolled up in wet towels or in gym bag. Moisture left in your swimsuit for extended periods of time will lead to unwanted odor and swimsuit failure.



In accordance with Health Department Regulations, ABSOLUTELY NO SWIMWEAR will be returned or exchanged once worn, soiled or washed. In the unlikely  event of a manufacturers defect, each case will be handled on an individual basis.
